BOTTLE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No 782,104, dated February '7, 1905.

Application iled September 22, 1904. Serial No. 225,498.

. citizen ot' the United States. residing at Titlin,

in the county ot Seneca and State ot' Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bottles; and l do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

'lhis invention relates to improvements in bottles. l

rlhe object ot the invention is to provide a bottle and a stopper t'or the same whereby the contents ot' the bottle may be easily and accu- .rately dropped, the construction ot' the bottle and stopper being such that the bottle may be readily sealed after being used.

A tui-ther object is to provide a bottle ot' this character which will be simple in construction, inexpensive, and well adapted to the purpose t'or which it is designed.

ll'ith these and other objects in view the invention consists of certain novel features o1' construction, combination, and arrangement ot' parts, as will be hereinafter more fully described, and particularly pointed out in the appended claim.

ln the accompanying drawings, Figure lisa perspective view ot' a bottle constructed in accordance with the invention, the stopper being' shown removed from the neck of the bottle and immediately above the same. Fig. 2 is a vertieL l sectional view through the upper end ot' the bottle, and Fig. 3 is a similar view of the stopper.

Referring more particularly to the drawings, l denotes a bottle having a neck 2, in the inner wall ot' which are formed oppositelydisposed vertical grooves or channels 3 and 4. On the upper end ot the bottle-neck, immediately above the channels 3, are formed upwardiy-projecting lugs 5 and 6. Adapted to be inserted in the neck otl the bottle is a stopper T. 0n the upperend ofthe same is formed a knob t5, and on one side ot said stopper, at the upper end ot' the same, is formed a laterallyprojecting spout 9. In one side ot' the stopper is formed a groove or channel 10, which extends from near the lower end of the stopper upwardly to and along the Linder side ot' the spout 9 and terminating at the end ofthe saine. On the opposite side ol the stopper is t'ormed a vertically-disposed groove or channel 1Q, which extends from near the lower end ot' the stopper to near the upper end ot' the same.

\Vhen the stopper is inserted within the neck ot' the bottle, the same may be turned to bring the lower portion ot' the slot l0 into alinement with the upper portion ot' the slot 3, thereby forming a continuous passage from the interior ot the bottle to the end ot' the spout 9. lVhen the stopper is in this position, the groove l?. on the opposite side ot' the same will be in alinement with the groove'l, lformed in the adjacent side ot the bottle-neck. The arrangement ot the lugs 5 and (S above the grooves 3 and si will coact with the grooves l0 and l2 in the bottle-stopper to forni continuous passages on each side ot' the stopper when the grooves in the saine and said bottleneck are in alinement.

lVhen the parts are in the position just described and the bottle tilted, the contents ot' the same will be caused to tiow through the passage formed by the grooves 3 and l() and will be discharged from the end of the spout 9 in the term ot' drops. The passage formed by the grooves et and l2 of the opposite side of the stopper permits the ingress ot' air to the bottle, which facilitates the discharge ot' the contents otl the same. By turning the bottle-stopper a slight distance in one direction or the other the grooves in the same and the neck of the bottle will be moved out ot' alinement, the grooves and t ot' the bottle-neck being covered by the walls ot' the stopper, while the grooves l0 and 1Q in the latter will engage the walls ot' the bottle-neck. Wvhen the stopper is in this latter position, the neck ot' the bottle will be closed or sealed, thus quickly converting the bottle-stopper from a dropping device to a sealing device. The channels 3 i being `formed immediately under and in line with lugs 5 6, the latter serve as indicators in turning the stopper to a position to discharge or to seal the mouth ot' the bottle.

By the use ot a bottle constructed and provided with a stopper ot' this character the IOO I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

A bottle having formed in the inner wall or' its neck oppositely-disposed vertical grooves, upwardly-projecting' segmental lugs formed on the upper end of the bottle immediately above said grooves, to indicate the location of the grooves, in combination with a stopper having a laterally-projecting spout, and vertically-disposed grooves formed on its opposite sides, one oi' said grooves being continued to the end of said spout, said stopper being adapted to be inserted in said bottle-neck and turned to bring the grooves in the neck and stopper into and out of alinement whereby the bottle may be opened or sealed, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two subscribing witnesses. A
